Faith in Pieces is a podcast from Mosaic United Methodist Church where we believe faith doesn’t have to be flawless to be meaningful. It’s minimally edited, always authentic, and grounded in the belief that our stories — our pieces — are worth sharing.
In this second Ask Me Anything bonus episode of *Faith in Pieces*, Pastor Shuler and Pastor Whitney tackle four more questions submitted by the Mosaic community.
They dig into the messy story of Jacob and Esau and what it tells us about God, human choices, and unfairness. They explore why Jesus is called both the “Son of God” and the “Son of Man,” talk about how Christians can respond with kindness when people of other faith traditions come knocking, and unpack one of Christianity’s most challenging verses: John 14:6, “I am the way and the truth and the life.”
Along the way, the conversation wrestles with what it means to share our faith without turning people into projects, choosing instead to let our lives reflect the love, grace, and invitation of Jesus.
If you’ve ever read a Bible story and thought, “That doesn’t seem fair,” wondered what Christians should believe about other faiths, or struggled with a difficult passage of Scripture, this episode is for you.

Ask Us Anything: God, Demons & Creation Care
In this episode of Faith in Pieces, Pastor Shuler and Pastor Whitney continue Mosaic’s Ask Us Anything series by tackling questions we didn’t have time to explore during Sunday worship.
Why do the Pharisees accuse Jesus of casting out demons by the power of the “ruler of demons”? Is God male, non-binary, or beyond the gendered language we use to describe God? And what responsibility do Christians have to care for the earth and the rest of God’s creation?
Together, they explore these questions through Scripture, theology, and conversation, while recognizing that faith doesn’t always require us to arrive at a perfectly packaged answer. Sometimes asking good questions, listening to one another, and continuing the conversation is an important part of building our faith together.
In this episode:
• Matthew 9:32–34 and the Pharisees’ accusation against Jesus
• What Scripture tells us about God and gender
• Being created in the image of God
• Creation care as a Christian responsibility
• The connection between faith, stewardship, and caring for the world around us
Faith in Pieces is a podcast from Mosaic United Methodist Church where we build our faith together, piece by piece and story by story.
Subscribe for more conversations about faith, Scripture, life, and the questions that don’t always fit neatly into a Sunday morning.

Preservation vs. Transformation
In this episode of Faith in Pieces, we continue our Where the Church Gets It Wrong season with a conversation about preservation vs. transformation. Traditions can ground us, connect us to those who came before us, and help us pass on faith from one generation to the next. But what happens when the church becomes more committed to preserving what is familiar than following where God is forming something new?
Joel and erik talk about the difference between tradition and traditionalism, why change in the church can feel so personal, and how we sometimes make things sacred that may simply be preferences, habits, or local customs. From coffee in the sanctuary to Sunday school, liturgy, music, and the ministries we keep alive, this conversation asks how the church can honor what has shaped us while still being open to faithful transformation.
